Musk’s DOGE expanding his Grok AI in U.S. government, raising concerns

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is reportedly expanding the use of his AI chatbot, Grok, within the U.S. federal government to analyze data—raising concerns over potential conflicts of interest and risks to sensitive information. Sources say DOGE is using a customized version of Grok to generate reports and analyze data, and has even encouraged the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to use it without formal approval. Experts warn that if confidential data is involved, this could violate security and privacy laws and give Musk unfair access to non-public federal contracting information. Critics argue this move may undermine long-standing safeguards for sensitive government data, especially as the federal bureaucracy undergoes significant changes under President Trump. Neither Musk nor the White House has commented, while DHS denies being pressured to use Grok.
